DANGER !
May be harmful or fatal if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through the skin.

Do not breathe vapor or mist.

Do not get into eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Exposure may cause weakness, headache, cyanosis, loss of
consciousness, respiratory arrest, or death.
Target organs - blood, metabolic enzymes, skin, lungs.
Physicians - treat exposed victims for cyanide poisoning.
Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional Information.

Chemical Sensitivities
Many hazardous
chemicals are used in
the workplace
Immune responses can
vary among individuals
Low-dose exposures
over longer periods of
time can alter function
of immune system
Chemical Sensitivities
Effects may develop
slowly
Symptoms may include
Multiple Chemical
Sensitivities, Contact
Dermatitis
Examples include
nickel compounds,
amines, epoxides, some
organic solvents
 Protective Measures
